From Homelands, which I know because my sorry ass used to own the whole set

Good investment.

Speaking of investing, I've heard that it's better to buy Magic the Gathering cards when their price is low, then sell them when their price is high. Is this true?

In some cases, buying high during Standard and then selling them off after rotation can inject some serious liquidity into the system. Think qualitative easing, but more local.

I prefer to buy when prices are low and then sell to online buylists at extremely low prices, ripping myself off. This is because I live a precarious lifestyle that requires funds at immediate checkpoints.

I'm not familiar with this, no

You should always be looking to resell magic cards to a dealer, especially at events when there are hundreds to thousands of other individuals who are likeminded in looking for fast cash for their cards. This kind of fast paced high volume buying environment is like a kind of social lubricant for sales and surely will result in the highest return on your dollar.

Everyone knows magic cards are an inelastic product

In short, fuck investing in stock, invest in an underground sea

So what's the deal with the Oogfather

Is it wrong I just want to play Jeskai Ascendancy in every format?

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 4:50 am

no

but it will be wrong when cruise gets neutered

Money'd in the last two legacy locals' I played with Jeskai

Can we all agree that the clan names are largely terrible with the exception of Mardu?

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 4:53 am

Especially abzan

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 4:53 am

There is a reason Z is like the least used letter in the english language

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 4:54 am

Abzan, that actually might be the most awkward made up name in all of nerd-dom

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 4:55 am

Seriously try and say it and not feel like a fucking tool

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 4:55 am

The SCG announcers (and by extention writers) have to feel like fucking assholes

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 4:56 am

Someone was paid to think up that word

Not even one person, A FUCKING GROUP OF PEOPLE thought up of that

And a bunch of people who get paid a lot more than them thought it was a good idea.

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 5:21 am

That is the terrifying thing

I still say bug, junk, etc

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 9:55 am

Temur is the fucking worst.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 9:56 am

RUG is so much easier to say.

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 11:23 am

I think Abzan is cool, it just unfortunatately has a good name already in Junk

Grixis will remain the worst name of the 10

Temur is pretty bad
Sultai is pretty bad
Dimir is pretty bad

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 11:23 am

The rest I can see being used

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 11:24 am

Well really I can see them all being used with the exception of probably Dimir

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 3:35 pm

Dim & Dimir

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 5:36 pm

I have less of a problem with Dimir given it isn't being forced onto us by our overlords SCG

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 5:37 pm

Sultai is actually worse than Abzan, but it's just so uninspired that I barely want to make fun of it.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 7:00 pm

I liked all the Shard names. Most of the Guild names were alright. They blew it with the Khans wedges.

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 7:20 pm

This statement is nonsensical. It's so bad that they don't use it.

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 7:43 pm

Given I don't recall them ever using Izzet Delver or Azorious Miracles, I don't think they use any of the guild names

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 7:44 pm

However bad it may or may not be, Dimir isn't worse than any of the clan names

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 7:45 pm

It's at least on par with Temur

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 7:50 pm

temur a river

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 9:19 pm

not to beat a dead horse black and blue, but did SCG even stream when Ravnica city of fritters came out? If so did any of us watch it to know if they used Dimir?
